Growing Soil Part 2: Local Presenters

Growing Soil: Mid-scale composting in the city With residential food scraps banned from the landfills in 2012 and all organics banned by 2015, Metro Vancouver municipalities need to find a new home for 250,000 tonnes of organic waste. Meanwhile, growing numbers of urban, near-urban and rural food producers are looking for supplies of affordable, uncontaminated, quality compost. Rising fuel costs will reward close-to-home solutions, but composting is often challenged by odour and pest problems. Some say using organics for fuel should take priority. Who has the best solution for economically growing high-quality soil from food scraps close to sources and users? Part 2 of this event showcases local suppliers and compost service providers who will address how their solution deals with siting, neighbourhood impact, capacity limits, quality control, financial feasibility and distribution.
